The train speeds on the track, passing through the extremely flat fields. The scenery outside the window is particularly magnificent. The fields form a neat grid, with light yellow and green alternating.
It has been a day since departure, and the new students in the carriage have also spent their initial excitement. Except for a few people who are still chatting with their companions, it has become quiet now.
Some slept on the table, while others took out the books they carried and opened them while leaning on their seats to pass the time.
Sylutia originally thought that other freshmen would come to the seat she was sitting in, but she didn't expect that one day after the train departed, the seat next to her was still vacant. It seemed that the ticket for this seat was given to her alone.
She leaned against the car window, covered her body with a thin blanket, then leaned slightly, closed her eyes, and slowly fell into a nap.
The car body shook while speeding, and occasionally made clanging sounds, but this environment also allowed many new students to adapt, and many of them were able to enter a state of sleep and rest just like in normal environments.
Two days later, the train stopped at a town on the way to replenish fuel and food, and the new students could come down to do some activities. The station was built on a hillside outside the city, overlooking the scenery in the distance.
Putting on a warm knitted shawl, Sylutia put on her leather shoes and stepped out of the car. Stepping on the station floor paved with stone bricks, if you take a few steps forward, you can see various wild flowers growing under the steps.
"Finally, I'm out. I've been going crazy for the past two days." Some freshmen ran to the steps and shouted to vent their frustration, and then jumped down. This behavior attracted many onlookers.
Some other freshmen also followed suit, jumped down a step more than one meter high, and ran and walked on the grass below. When the station staff saw it, they did not stop them.
Sylutia walked to the steps, looked into the distance, smelled the fresh aroma of grass and trees on the tip of his nose, and felt much better.
"Hello, my name is Atali, may I meet you?" A girl wearing a green embroidered dress came over, with a male companion beside her.
"Hello, I am Hedra." Sylutia nodded slightly and looked at the two of them.
Seeing her clothes and the generous and confident look when greeting her, Sylutia guessed that the other party's family was well off.
Sure enough, the other party began to introduce her family background and origin. It turned out that she was a noble from the border country Servis, her father was the country's duke, and the man next to her was also the son of the earl of Servis.
" Where is Miss Hedra from?" The other party was very curious, looking at the girl with his deep emerald eyes.
"I come from Merchant City Union, the port city in the far south, Quebes." Sylutia introduced softly with his hand on his chest.
"Is it such a distant place?" The two were slightly curious, and then they started asking and talking.
From the words of the two people, Sylutia gradually understood the situation of Servis. It was a country in the Mage Alliance. Although the nobles had a higher status than ordinary people, they did not have the supreme power like other kingdoms. For example, rich people with stable incomes, most of the country's violent institutions and the military are directly under the jurisdiction of the Mage Alliance personnel. Nobles will also serve as senior military officers, but transfers and large-scale operations require orders from the Mage Alliance.
"What are the customs and customs like over there Merchant City Union?" They were very interested in the country Sylutia mentioned.
"There..." Sylutia talked about his experiences and feelings in the past six months, and slowly integrated the information about his life experience into a familiar introduction template.
The three of them walked next to the station, chatted for a long time, and gradually became familiar with each other. Atali even invited Sylutia to visit her home during the next vacation.
"Thank you." The girl thanked her. At this moment, the departure bell rang in the station. It seemed that the supplies had been completed.
The three of them returned to the carriage again, and Sylutia also noticed that they were all in the same carriage, but the place where Atali was sitting was behind her, so she didn't recognize them immediately.
The train started again, puffing steam and heading into the distance. In the last few carriages, there was now a thin figure. She hid in the carriage where debris was piled, closed herself in a box, hugged her knees, and slowly fell asleep.
Three days later.
"Terminal station, Asura Campus has arrived."
A clear female voice came from the brass microphone in the carriage. The train braked slowly, accompanied by a heavy transmission sound, and finally stopped.
After the thick steam mist dissipated, what was exposed outside the window was the densely populated station, as well as the tall clock tower building in the distance. Many people came in and out wearing autumn and winter coats.
The air is a bit cold. Sylutia I think back to a few days ago, when I was still staying in a warm climate Meteor Lake, but now I have to wear a thick coat.
Following the crowd out of the car, Sylutia stood on the stone-like ground with her suitcase in hand. She raised her head and looked into the distance. The sky here was slightly gray and the dense crowd around her made her feel in a trance, as if she had returned to the busy city where she worked in her previous life.
Fortunately, the fantasy creatures occasionally flying through the sky break this reverie and memory.
Like countless freshmen who had just arrived at Asura, she slowly came to the place where freshmen were reported, and waited in line with the students who were full of expectations and hesitations.
During the process, I experienced a long-lost emotion, and slowly recalled many forgotten things. It was the scene of going to school when I was young in my previous life.
After time has passed, what will it be like to look back at the past? What will it be like to experience youth again? You will probably feel a little nostalgic, but also have a touch of sadness. Although you are standing in an enthusiastic crowd, you have the sadness of knowing that sooner or later the flowers will fade away.
Ah, why am I so sentimental? Sylutia shook his head, tapped his eyebrows with his fingers, and focused his attention on the current environment.
Here you can see new students from different places. Some of them, like her, come from distant foreign countries, and some are students from the Mage Alliance, because their clothing styles are obviously similar to the local ones. Secondly, there are many Orcs of different shapes, some of them are tall and powerful, and some are petite and thin.
Sylutia saw a few freshmen with small curved corners or long tails walking past. What made her a little curious was that Lizardman and Elf were rarely seen here, which was quite different from the Woodland in the south.
After queuing for half an hour, Sylutia finally arrived. She took out the recommendation letter in her hand. The staff checked it and handed her a stamped note and a booklet.
"Room 4, No. 109, Narcissus Street, that will be your residence. Please report to the nearby School No. 89 within a week. If you encounter any questions in life, please read this booklet. There are answers on it."
"Okay, next one."
Taking what was handed to him, Sylutia walked out, like many other ignorant and curious freshmen, leaving the station and walking to the street outside.
You can see many steam-powered vehicles passing by on the road, as well as pedestrians on horseback. Occasionally, you can also see a few special beasts. They are similar in size to Lion, with curved horns and claws like Sharpness.
"Students who are going to Christmas Cactus Street, please come here. One silver coin will send you to your accommodation and help you carry your luggage~" Not far from the roadside, a man in a shirt greeted.
"Want to know the secrets for new students to save money and avoid pitfalls? Here is a 3 silver coin book, absolutely worth the money."
"Teaching standard Chinese for free will help you get rid of your bad pronunciation habits so that teachers and classmates will no longer discriminate against you~"
"The warm wool blanket that is essential for life in Asura is your best companion whether you are taking a break between classes or sleeping at night. It only costs 10 silver coins a piece."
Facing the freshmen walking out, Sylutia could see many vendors shouting. Now she looked around and found a vehicle that could take her to Narcissus Street.
This black Steam Locomotive is about three meters high, can seat six people on it, and has space for luggage in the back and below.
"Is this the bus to Narcissus Street?"
"Yes, this lady, I only need one silver coin to send you there."
"Okay." Sylutia took out a silver coin and handed it to the other party.
After putting the luggage away, not long after, several young people about the same age as the girl got into the car.
The six people gathered quickly, and then the driver came over, cranked the engine with a bent connecting rod, started the vehicle, and with a roar, the vehicle drove forward.
The drive was not fast at first because the area around the station was very crowded. When we drove out of that area, our field of vision suddenly became wider. Sylutia held the small suitcase and looked at the various shops along the way. His hair was blown by the wind in front of him, and he had a panoramic view of the bustling street scene.
There are not only many luxury clothing stores and jewelry stores found in big cities, but also rare bookstores, oil painting shops, flower shops, small Alchemy workshops, shops specializing in selling gemstones, agents responsible for finding accommodation, perfume shops, various Aspect Power rare flower shops, etc.
There are also a particularly large proportion of young people on the street, of which nearly 90% are Transcendent, exuding different Aspect Power and power. Occasionally, you can see professionals above level three, and even some pets have Aspect Power levels, which is novel.
The strands of hair reflected the afternoon sun and fell on the side of the girl's face, flying from time to time. Her beautiful appearance also aroused the curiosity of her companions in the car. However, these few people were a little reserved like students and did not come up to ask directly.
Half an hour later, the vehicle stopped and the driver helped Sylutia unload the light luggage.
"This is Narcissus Street 109. You can go and report it with your letter paper."
"Thank you." The girl leaned over to thank her, then picked up her suitcase and walked into the lobby of this building.
The ground is paved with water-milled stones. Although it is a bit old, it is still neat and tidy, but the overall lighting is slightly dark.
After all, it is a place where freshmen live. In order to save money, it is generally not too luxurious.
After coming to the front desk to ask, a woman came over soon, took Sylutia to the third floor of the building, and then opened the room. There was a dormitory for four people, but no one else had arrived yet.
After getting Key, Sylutia looked at the dormitory. It was divided into four rooms. The middle was the living room and dining room, which was also used for reading and studying. The right side was the bedroom with four single beds, and the left side was the kitchen and bathroom.
The environment is not bad, it feels a bit like the university dormitory back in the day, but it is much more spacious and the bedrooms also have good lighting.
After putting down her luggage, Sylutia made her bed. The sheets and pillows were all new, so it seemed she didn't need to buy any extra.
Lying on the bed, closing his eyes and concentrating for a while, Sylutia stood up, thinking about whether to go around and get familiar with the environment, when the door knocked again, and in the explanation voice of the familiar dormitory aunt, a girl with a cold face walked in.
She has beautiful silver-grey hair. The front hair is left just past her earlobes, revealing the faintly visible Mercury earrings. The back hair is long to her waist. She is wearing an exquisite short skirt dress mainly indigo. She is holding a plush Doll in her arms. She looks slightly cute, but her temperament is not too sharp and cold.
"Hedra, this is your new roommate. His name is Aurora. You two should get along well." After the aunt in the dormitory continued to explain, she handed Key to the new Aurora and left.
Now the two of them were sitting alone on the chairs in the living room, and the room suddenly became quiet.
The other party didn't seem to be a sociable person, nor was he someone who would take the initiative to speak. Sylutia had to take the initiative to try it once.
"Hello, I am a new student from Merchant City Union in the south. How about you."
"Aurora, from Greater Airo District." Her frosty blue eyes looked at Sylutia, motionless, as if she wanted to see through this girl.
This made Sylutia a little restless. He occasionally looked down at his clothes to see if there was anything wrong with him.
Speaking of which, Aurora is the Transcendent of "Winter Slumber" Aspect Power. She has had very few contacts with this kind of Transcendent in the past. Unfortunately, the few words she spoke on her own initiative after that were answered very briefly. I don't know whether it was because she was not interested or just had a cold personality.
The room slowly became silent until the third freshman arrived.
Even before reaching the door, Sylutia heard a loud and lively sound.
"That's right, it takes four people to carry that thing, and you have to be careful not to damage it." The voice was very comfortable to listen to, like fresh petals unfurling in the summer wind.
After opening the door, Sylutia saw a girl with beautiful blond hair. She seemed to have some kind of aura, and the aura emanating from her body diluted the coldness of the dormitory and made it pleasant.
This is also the second time Sylutia has had a similar feeling. The last one who gave her this feeling was Florella, the eldest lady Elf from a distant continent.
"Hello, my name is Lovier." She pressed her white slender fingers lightly on the transparent gold gem as big as an goose egg on her chest, then blinked her eyes and scanned the furnishings in the room.
"It's all very ordinary, but it's within my expectations."
After that, she moved out of the way and let the more than 20 people carrying luggage behind her walk in.
"Change my bed, clean the whole bedroom, and replace it with the china, tablecloths, carpets, and pictures I brought."
"Yes, Miss Lovier." These people immediately followed the instructions.
Facing the congested environment, Sylutia and Aurora had to withdraw first, and then Lovier also waved to them.
"You are my roommates, right." She came closer, looked at the two of them carefully and nodded.
"They all look good and fit my aesthetic taste."
"In the future, if we live together, tell me anything you need. I have an allowance of 1,000 gold coins every month, which will allow us to live a very relaxed and happy life."
In response, Sylutia covered his mouth slightly and opened his mouth in surprise, while Aurora beside him was much calmer and simply nodded, then looked at Doll in his arms and stroked it slowly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Half an hour later, the three of them returned to the dormitory again. The place had been completely cleaned and cleaned. Not only were the walls and floors as smooth as new, but even some old and damaged places had been comprehensively repaired by unknown methods, making them look particularly neat.
The living room is covered with a white carpet with a black frame, and the table is also covered with a snow-white finely embroidered tablecloth. There is a vase with Sun-Bloom Chrysanthemum on it, and a small golden alarm clock. In addition, the bedroom is completely new, especially one of the beds. It has been replaced with a pink and gold luxurious princess bed, dotted with gauze and pink folds. There is also a gorgeous wardrobe on the side of the bed, filled with all kinds of expensive and beautiful dresses.
The three of them became familiar with the environment here again. With the addition of Lovier, the number of topics gradually increased. At this time, Lovier seemed to remember something. From the various suitcases displayed on the side, she found an exquisite golden cage. She opened it with the necklace hanging on her chest, Key, and then Sylutia heard a slight meow.
A chubby golden gradient cat was held by Lovier and came to the two of them.
"This is my cat. It's a bit lazy, but very cute. Its name is Ranran."
Lovier picked it up by its forelimbs. The round-cheeked cat let out a lazy cry, then got into Lovier's arms and lay down. After rubbing it a few times, it stretched. The slightly opened claws hooked up to the chest of Lovier's skirt. Fortunately, the girl had expected it, held down the cat's claws, and removed it.
"No, Ranran. Fortunately, there are only girls here. If you do this outside, I will feed the cat less food." She hugged the cat and taught it in its ear.
Then she brought the cat to the table and let it get to know its two new roommates.
"From now on, Hedra and Aurora will be your new roommates. Listen to them just like you listen to me." After saying that, she held one of the cat's paws and waved greetings to the two of them.
"We will be friends from now on, Hedra, Aurora~" The sweet voice can make people melt away. If the two of them are boys, I am afraid they will be fascinated by this young lady soon. Not only her temperament, appearance, family background, this Lovier is rare in this world.
